Saskatoon Police have laid charges against a 37-year-old male following several reports of erratic driving that culminated in a collision on University Bridge this morning.
At approximately 8:45 a.m., October 15, 2025, SPS Communications began receiving numerous calls about a black vehicle driving erratically, in the wrong lanes of travel, and disobeying traffic signals. A patrol officer attempted a traffic stop in the 900 block of 7th Avenue North but the driver fled at a high rate of speed. Shortly before 9:30 a.m., the vehicle collided with a truck on University Bridge that resulted in traffic restrictions in both directions. No serious injuries were reported.
The 37-year-old driver is charged with Dangerous Driving, Evade Police, Impaired Driving, and Refusal.
Traffic restrictions on University Bridge have since been lifted.
